Think of this as the balance sheet of America.

Well, I would say, oh yeah, I have had a chance to get into that.

But one thing we are doing is, because it is so cool under the Lincoln Memorial, a lot of people don't know that whole thing is built like on gigantic cathedral arches that lift it up like almost 100 feet.

We're opening up a museum in conjunction with Freedom 250 under the Lincoln Memorial.

So all the citizens are going to be able to get in there and get a chance to see exactly the amazing engineering that holds that incredible, iconic memorial up in the air on what was a swamp.

They filled it in, they built these cathedral arches, and it's sort of like the Lincoln Memorial is built on top of Notre Dame because that's what it feels like underneath it.
